Five Persons Drowned.

At an early hour the other morning the
people In the nelghborhood of Kings grist
mill, In Ingersoll, Ont, which Is situated
in the southwest portion of the town,
were startled by a peculiar noise as Of
mighty rush of water. The noise was
caused by portion, about eighteen feet,
of the northernly embankment of the mill
dam, which was about fifteen feet higher
than the surrounding land, giving way and
forging onward in nOrthernly direction
towards the River Thames. After career
ing through the mill-yard the great volume
of water struck the engine house and de-
molshed and then spread forward across
King street toward frame tenement
building. Two-thirds of the structure was
carried along on the current towards the
Thames. OF the twelve persons I'm the
building at the time seven escaped
with their lives and five were drowned.
About 200 yards of the Credit Valley rail
way track was lifted out of its place, and
a long switch running from the main line
to the mill was completely swept away.
The railway track proper was made avail
able for traffic during the afternoon.
The pond covered about twenty acres
and the dam had a twelve-foot head. Ii
had been allowed to go dry all last summer
and was filled I'm the fall in order that the
ice might be secured.

An Anti-slavery Leader Gone.

DR.. Nather NJ Thomas, the pioneer
physician of Kalamazoo county, and the
leader of the anti-slavery movement in the
western part of the state, died at his home
in SchoOlcraft recently, aged IS years.
DIR. ThOmas's ancestors on both sides
were Quakers, and he was a direct de-
scendant of Thomas Macy, the first settler
of Nantucket Island. He came to Prairie
Ronde in June, 1880, and was a member
of the medical society of Michigan territory.
The country being then very thinly set
tied, the young doctor had very wide
range of practice, going sometimes 80 to 40
miles to attend patients. He married a
sister of the Hon. +. Laken Brown. He
retired from active practice thirty years
ago. He was made an honorary member
of the Michigan state medical society Jan.
10, 1859. All through his life he was a
devout friend of the slave. In 1887 he,
with 422 citizens of Prairie ROnde and
Brady petitioned congress against the adj
mission of Texas as part of the United
States while slavery existed in that coun-
try. This petition was presented by
Senator Louis Lyon, who said, ''This is
the first memorial on this subject that has
been presented from Michigan" In 1889
DR.. T., with others united in the establish
ment of an anti-slavery paper. In 1S45 he
was nominated by the liberty party for
lieutenant on the ticket with James G..
Birney for governor. In 1852 he was
nominated for state elector on the free
soil ticket. When the republican party
was formed at Jackson he joined it, and
continued with it to the day of his death.

Lake Superior Indians, and the Huron
PottawattOmies, numbering about 100, in
Calhoun county. All OF these are under
the direct control of the Indian agent.
The 13-year old son of Henry Warrick,
saloon-keeper at Montague enticed another
13-year-old lad named Walter Young, into
his fathers saloon while the latter was at
the polls election day, and persuaded him
TO taste the liquor in the different bottles.
When his mother, who Is poor widow
found him, he was too drunk TO speak,
and on his way home fell and cut his face
badly.
Erred, one of the span of black horses
presented by the soldiers in 1862 to Mrs.
Gov. Blair of Jackson, died recently from
inflammation of the lungs, aged ~. The
members of the Goth Michigan infantry
presented one horse and the Goth regiment
gave the other to Mrs. Blair for her kind
ness to the soldiers while they were at
Camp Blair" i'm Jackson. ''Dick," the
living mate to Fired" is about the same
age.
'Wick' Barr, living near Potterville,
was aroused the other night by disturb
ance in his hennery. He took lantern
to investigate and, not returning i'm a
reasonable time, Mrs. Barr went in search
of her husband and found him lying dead,
his clothing aiire and his body terribly
burned. Investigation showed that he
had fallen dead of heart disease and the
lamp had exploded, setting fire to his
clothing.

calling special attention to article o, chap
ter 5. of the rules, in which no officer or

manner use this organization for partisan

violated. He says: Nothing can bring
greater disgrace to our order or more effect

trial by court martial"

pend, until further orders, all action under
